  • Episode 80 | The Finale: Kingdom of Heaven and Children of Men
    May 12 2023

    After three years on the air, we say our goodbyes to our listeners and to this podcast. No guests, just a finale with the two of us each discussing a personal favorite, Alex's Kingdom of Heaven and Davis' Children of Men. It would not be the end without a news segment and this one, while limited, features the WGA strike, Dune Part II news and of course the trailer for Gran Turismo. Then, we delve into what makes Kingdom of Heaven a truly underrated epic, how historians reacted to the film's release, and what went wrong with the theatrical cut. As for Children of Men, it is one of the best films of all time, Davis can cry just thinking about it, there are great moments characters and sequences throughout. All will be discussed in the finale of WEGL's premiere movie podcast.

Ainsley and Braden join for one last time as we talk about some of the best songs, jokes and moments from a trilogy that maybe should've stuck with just one film.
